The Best Jackets To See You Through Winter
Layering season is in full swing, and a great jacket is key to nailing your cold-weather wardrobe. From elevated puffers and bombers to suede and shearling staples, these are the styles to know now
The bomber jacket
Few items add instant laid-back cool to an outfit like a bomber jacket, and this season’s best iterations play with proportion and scale. Canada Goose’s padded satin ‘Jade’ bomber fuses timeless style with streetwear cool, and pairs perfectly with wide-leg jeans and sneakers for an easy, everyday look. For something classic with a twist, consider Saint Laurent’s olive-green version from the fall/winter ’25 runway, complete with exaggerated ribbed trims and puffed sleeves – layer it over a tartan skirt and stompy boots, or pair with cargo pants and a chunky knit. While bombers are often seen as daywear, pick one with enough polish and it will work perfectly for nights out, too. See Nour Hammour’s elegant ‘Marly’ jacket from our NET SUSTAIN edit, which comes in sumptuously soft chocolate-brown leather and looks effortlessly chic thrown over a lace-trimmed slip.

The leather jacket
A leather jacket is a perennial favorite that, if chosen wisely, will reemerge year after year. The trick is to focus less on trends and, instead, invest in a silhouette that best suits your personal style. A contemporary take on classic bomber shapes, Magda Butrym's jacket has angular pockets inspired by architecture and will add edge to on and off-duty outfits. Meanwhile, Nour Hammour’s ‘Seleste’ style feels a touch more casual and is a dream pairing for denim. From our NET SUSTAIN edit – and exclusive to NET-A-PORTER – it has distressed finish for an authentic, vintage feel and comes in a boxy shape. Coveting something dress-friendly? Look to Khaite’s elegant ‘Shelman’ jacket, which is sleek enough to throw on over glamorous gowns and billowing maxi skirts.

The barn jacket
With every new take on the preppy trend comes a revised version of the field jacket – which this season nods to the countryside in the chicest possible way. Toteme’s ‘Summer Country’ jacket, for example, which comes in classic coated cotton-canvas with a contrasting corduroy collar and utilitarian pockets. The relaxed fit works perfectly with a cashmere sweater and blue jeans on weekends. Elsewhere, Blazé Milano elevates its cotton-gabardine ‘Clelia’ jacket in a neatly tailored shape that makes it smart enough to wear with a crisp shirt and a pencil skirt to the office.

Shearling staples
Timeless and with vintage appeal, a shearling jacket will not only keep you wonderfully warm on bitter winter days, but there’s also something about the look that feels eternally cool. Designed in a sculptural peplum shape, Alaïa’s version feels as snug as a dressing gown but adds out-and-about polish to your everyday look. Use it to dress up off-duty denim, or play into the proportions by teaming it with barrel-leg leather pants for evening. Elsewhere, JW Anderson’s oversized aviator style has an asymmetric fuzzy shearing collar and looks impossibly cool styled with a turtleneck and high-waisted jeans. For a piece you can wear from dawn to dusk, try Yves Salomon’s plush shearling jacket. Style with tailored pants and a second-skin top – or a mini dress and knee-high boots – depending on your plans.

Sumptuous suede
A suede jacket is one of those pieces where it doesn’t really matter what you wear underneath – it will make your outfit immediately chic regardless. Worried about ruining the fabric? Invest in a good protector spray, and we guarantee it will last for years to come. Evoking the fit and feel of vintage styles, Saint Laurent’s jacket comes in a slouchy, oversized shape that looks as cool thrown over tailoring as it does a floaty maxi dress. If your style is more minimal, reach for Arma’s cropped ‘Helen’ made in a ‘gritty’ suede finish for a vintage feel – the clean lines and rich, coffee shade will ensure it works with denim and tailoring alike.

The luxe puffer
The puffer jacket returns every season as a trusty fail-safe for when the mercury really drops – and designers love to put their own spin on the insulating style. Moncler Genius’s glossy quilted shell version has a cozy funnel neck and elasticated cuffs to lock in warmth, and will make dark, frosty-morning commutes infinitely more palatable. Perfect for countryside pursuits, Loewe’s diamond-quilted style is trimmed with leather and corduroy and ideal for throwing on over chunky knits, while Gucci’s belted monogrammed puffer will make cold-weather layering feel a lot more glamorous. Just add chunky lace-up boots for chilly morning walks.

The denim jacket
The denim jacket is an enduring closet staple for good reason – not only is it practical and hardwearing, but it’s also a symbol of iconic all-American style. A contemporary take on classic trucker jackets, Loewe’s version from has many of the same utilitarian details but has the brand’s anagram logo at the elbows. Match your jeans to the true-blue wash and finish with chocolate suede ankle boots. Alternatively, try slipping Frame’s ‘The Curve’ denim jacket over a cashmere co-ord and sneakers.
